Chapter 715 Top-Grade Earthly Profound Spiritual Treasure: The Four Fiends' Soul Banner

Due to the existence of the competitive contract, the Celestial Race and the Ghost Spirit Race have maintained a tacit agreement to send their younger generation of geniuses to decide the outcome of the competition. Therefore, the highest cultivation level they can achieve is the peak of the Void Refinement stage.

One reason is due to the contract.

Secondly, since cultivators who have not yet condensed the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit have their primordial spirits escape into the Great World of Soul Refining, they have the opportunity to deceive the natural instincts of this world, thus facilitating the "True Immortal Imprint" step.

It is much more difficult to achieve the Dao, but it is not entirely impossible, like the Great Vehicle Celestial Venerable who has already condensed more than 50% of the Dao fruit's embryonic form.

They will completely lose the chance to get close to the origin of the Soul Refining World!

Therefore, with Wang Yu's addition, the Ghost Spirit Clan naturally wouldn't be "truly honest" and had already tried unorthodox methods to circumvent the contract.

So.

Why didn't any of the Transcending Tribulation Immortals or Mahayana cultivators in the Soul Refining World take the initiative to participate? After all, this kind of competition wasn't the first time it had been held, and theoretically, they should have caught each other's mistakes long ago.

Not like a complete idiot who knows nothing!

This involves a higher level of combat.

The ghosts and celestial beings had long ago sent true immortal ancestors to "intimidate" them, similar to nuclear restraint, to limit the struggle to those below the Mahayana level.

in this way.

Even among the native Soul Refiners, there is still competition; it's not like there's no hope at all. The gap between those who have reached the Dao Realm is an insurmountable chasm.

If it really attracted the intervention of the Immortal Ancestor, the Soul Refining Great World would have already faced a great purge. As for what these natives are really thinking, we don't know yet, but they are definitely planning something.

The three high-ranking officials maintained a tacit understanding.

Wang Yu was well aware of this; from the moment he condensed the fifth Taiyin Divine Rune, he had actually lost the opportunity to get close to the origin of the world.

He obscures cause and effect, acting furtively.

She simply doesn't want to make her gains and actions public. She still needs to use the pseudonym Feng Jiuge, so she has to cherish it.

The world of Soul Refining holds a great secret.

The great secrets are either incredible opportunities or deadly traps. He didn't even dare to use the principles of cause and effect to deduce them, for fear of being devoured by the secrets of heaven.

Therefore.

The main purpose of refining the Venerable Soul Banner was to utilize the abundant power of the dead souls in this place to cultivate the Yin Primordial Spirit, comprehend the laws of burial, and attempt to integrate it into the embryonic form of his own Yellow Spring Dao Fruit.

It may seem like he picked up a sesame seed but lost a watermelon, but it was actually the action of a clever person. He grabbed everything he could, and left the rest to his heart's content.

The Soul Master opposite him claimed to be from the Burial Emperor City, one of the three holy cities for refining souls, but he seemed unaware of the highest level of strategic maneuvering.

They stupidly came and attacked, completely disregarding the Celestial Race and treating them like easy prey. It's outrageous!

Wang Yu knew in his heart that even if he didn't show up...

A top-tier prodigy like Fairy Xi must have some trump cards up her sleeve to save her life; it's just a matter of whether or not to use them. This is the real reason why he rushed here decisively.

Let's settle the karmic entanglement caused by the Fusang Divine Tree and the Golden Fruit as soon as possible.

The activity of thoughts and ideas in reality is only a moment. Just as Wang Yu revealed the power of the Taiyin Primordial Spirit, the dense Taiyin divine power condensed into a round moon that looked like a real thing in his hand!

Despite its small size, it ruthlessly pressed the dead spirits into the earth.

This caused him to lie sprawled on the ground in a sorry state.

One side could barely unleash the power of the mid-stage Dao Integration Realm, while the other side possessed the steady power of the Perfected Dao Integration Realm. The difference between the two was greater than that between a person and a dog.

Outside, relying solely on the soul might not have such an overwhelming effect, but the rules of the Soul Refining World are such that the primordial spirit is equivalent to the physical body.

With the support of the global environment, Wang Yu was also thriving, and there was no question of him being suppressed.

Moreover, he holds an almost absolute advantage in the laws of the Great Dao.

This battle revealed the true nature of the Soul Masters.

They appear to be more powerful and superior, but in fact they have taken a shortcut to the true essence of cultivation, relying too much on the mystique of this "Star Burial Placenta".

Those seemingly ordinary but stable cultivators of the Burial Heaven Path are the true lineage of this variant of the Burial Immortal Path, and no new Burial Immortals have ever emerged from them.

He had reason to suspect that he had been led astray by these high-ranking Soul Masters and Shamans. The power he inherited was indeed formidable, but it was ultimately not his own!

There are many methods to achieve immortality through the Dao.

All three thousand Great Daos can lead to immortality. In his eyes, the Burial Heaven Dao is a variant branch of the Ghost Immortal Dao. Although it originated from the Star God's inheritance, it is essentially a cultivation of the laws.

If it is a law, it can be unified by the immortal path. The cultivation methods inherited in those dead soul statues can be modified and reshaped to become excellent secret manuals for ghost immortal cultivation.

Right now.

Wang Yu looked down at him, his voice calm.

"—You've lost."

"this……"

The early-stage Soul Master of the Dao Integration Realm lowered his head, silently activating his emergency aid abilities, a forced smile on his face.

"Sir, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yu took him into his hand and compressed him into a ball of primordial spirit light. This was perfect nourishment for the Soul Banner, and it was impossible to simply obliterate him.

He casually erased the traces of the battle.

With a single step, he swept up Fairy Xi and her entourage, who were still fleeing towards Coldblood City, and brought them back to Coldblood City simultaneously, leaving only an echoing sound without revealing his true form.

"Stay in the city, and I will summon you in due time."

He was also enveloped by three thousand bolts of lightning from the Primordial Thunder Pool.

The second stage of cultivation, which is invulnerable to all laws, is not yet over, so he will not give up halfway. He has simply reduced the intensity of his lightning-summoning.

With his feet firmly planted on the secret treasure-drawing pool, Wang Yu then devoted himself to the refining of the Soul Banner. Apart from the "temporary worker" Candle Maiden, the Soul Banner finally truly possessed its first immortal banner spirit at the Dao Integration level.

Its origin has been greatly enhanced, firmly establishing it as a mid-grade Earth Profound Spiritual Treasure. A large number of Burial Dao Laws have gathered with heaven and earth, greatly strengthening the Law Foundation of the Venerable Soul Banner.

This also provided Wang Yu with a more perfect analogue object.

The ancient four fierce patterns became even more dazzling, and the pitch-black soul mist they emitted was so thick that it could not be dissolved, like the deepest darkness in the world. If there were five or six more of these Dao-Merging natives, it should be possible to upgrade it to a high-grade Earth Profound Spirit Treasure.

At that time, with his perfected Yin Yuan Shen, if he could unleash his power, even a weaker Mahayana Heavenly Venerable would dare to challenge him.

Unfortunately, this is a paradox.

Those who can achieve the status of Mahayana Celestial Venerable are neither weak nor beyond the limit. To fight beyond their realm, they must surpass the limits of their realm and be even more beyond the limits of the data monster in order to have the opportunity to achieve this unprecedented feat of fighting beyond their realm!

Wang Yu felt that his chances were quite high.

After all, he is still far from his maximum developmental state. Putting everything else aside, if he can improve his understanding of the principles of power, his physical cultivation can be put to better use.

Currently, it's actually similar to a whiteboard.

Lacking the understanding of laws to enhance the power of supernatural abilities, and with very little mastery of physical Dao traces and supernatural abilities, almost all of them are within the scope of the Taiyin Dao Laws.

These things all need time to settle and mature.

After slightly enhancing the essence of the Soul Banner, which took about a month, it was transformed into the Undying Banner Spirit and then dispatched by him to assist the Candle Maiden in further strengthening the power of Cold Blood City.

What outsiders don't know is...

All the cities of dead souls that were swallowed up by Coldblood City not only had their statues devoured and refined by Wang Yu, but all their living beings were also completely wiped out, becoming banner spirits one by one.

Since both are spirits, the changes before and after are not significant. At most, they have the mark of the Soul Banner on their bodies, which is regarded as a totem mark and becomes a symbol of identity.

All natives, whether they are outside or within Coldblood City.

They are all his banner spirits!

They were all his informants!

After that day, the scale of the war in Coldblood City was no longer limited to the sixth-tier Dead Soul City, but began to fight against the first seventh-tier Dead Soul City.

After spending half a year cultivating the second stage of the Invulnerability to All Laws technique, Wang Yu was able to become immune to nearly 30% of the erosion caused by laws, which was considered an extremely powerful supernatural ability.

The next stage is when he breaks through to the Mahayana stage before he can cultivate.

at the same time.

Gathering Fairy Xi and the others to help them break the seal is one thing, but another is to have them fight for Cold Blood City. These Celestial Race prodigies basically all have the ability to fight beyond their minor realms.

Fairy Xi is even more capable of reversing the severing of the Dao.

In terms of raw power, he is far stronger than the Demon King he met in the Demon Refining Domain, and his understanding of the laws is around 10% to 12%, which is similar to his own back then.

He truly deserves to be called a top genius of the Celestial Race.

It almost represents the top level of the younger generation in the Universe Sea. Using this as a mirror, we can actually deduce a lot from it. Wang Yu simply cultivated too fast and surpassed others.

In theory, he possesses knowledge of laws, supernatural powers, and secret techniques.

They're probably not as good as these geniuses who have been cultivating for longer. Actually... well, let's not talk about it.

Once he started specializing in a particular area, his abilities began to leap forward.

He climbs to new heights every day, constantly improving and never stopping. By the time those geniuses reach their limit and intend to break through to the Dao Integration Realm, he might have already become a figure at the level of the Cosmic Sea Ancestor.

He didn't put them in the same competitive position.

Their ambition and vision had long been set on the fruit-flavored realm of immortality!

Let's get back to the main topic.

Inside the central hall of Coldblood City, Fairy Xi arrived with Zhiyi, Minghua, and other celestial female cultivators. Wang Yu, as instructed, helped them remove the sealing runes from their bodies one by one.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Their humble and obsequious attitude disappeared, and they regained their pride and confidence.

really.

Strength is the foundation for a cultivator's confidence to stand tall. Previously, those who were sealed into Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage ants didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Wang Yu.

Not to mention trying to intimidate him by invoking the Celestial Race's reputation.

Even the kindest-hearted Fairy Xi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your help, Brother Feng. I will remember this kindness and express my gratitude in another way after we leave."

"What Sister Xi said is exactly what I think. Thank you, Brother Feng!"

"We thank Brother Feng very much!"

Wang Yu smiled slightly and said politely.

"What are you doing? There's no need for such formalities with me, Feng. Please get up."

After everyone took their seats in turn.

Wang Yu spoke first: "Xi Xianzi has already told me about your situation. Since you have already lost the initiative, why don't you stay and help me?"

Fairy Xi frowned, puzzled.

"Brother Feng, what do you mean by that? Elder Qingxu..."

"Tai, the struggle for the Soul Refining World is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Since you have been betrayed by your own kind, how can you possibly win against them? You might as well give up now to avoid encountering the same thing again."

"Besides, the other side is at fault in this matter. Even if they fail, no one can blame them. The responsibility lies with them and has nothing to do with you. Why not take this opportunity to gain some benefits?"

"What's in your hands is yours; why fight tooth and nail for a chance with such a low probability?"

A thought struck everyone present. Some thought Wang Yu's words made sense, while others thought they were inappropriate, and still others wanted to retaliate.

All eyes were on Fairy Xi, hoping she would make the decision.

The latter remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Revenge is not advisable. We don't know the progress over there. We can just report it truthfully when we get out. But we still need to delay things with the Ghost Spirit Clan to avoid being held accountable by our superiors for doing nothing."

"good."

"Sister Xi is right. Brother Feng just said that he asked us to help you. May I ask what exactly it is?"

"It is a conquest of native cities and the capture of Dead Soul Mountain. This item contains the inheritance of this world. Although it follows the path of ghost immortals, it still has high reference value. There are also various soul-path spiritual objects that are rarely seen in the outside world."

"If you are willing, you may also participate and share the spoils of war according to your contributions."

…………

The council in the palace talked for a long time. After it was adjourned, Fairy Xi privately approached Wang Yu, not quite understanding his behavior.

"Brother Feng, didn't you promise Qingxu Heavenly Venerable that you would assist the Celestial Race in seizing world sovereignty? So why..."

Wang Yu shook his head.

“It’s not that I’m unwilling, but that I can’t do it anymore. My understanding of the principles of Taiyin has reached the standard of the Mahayana Celestial Venerable, and it is difficult for me to get closer to the origin of the world.”

Fairy Xi parted her red lips slightly, utterly shocked.

A long time passed.

He managed to say with difficulty, "I understand. I will explain this to the Heavenly Venerable."

"It's good that you understand. Besides, the world of Soul Refining is very complex. I advise you to be honest. Since some of your clansmen want to compete for credit, just let them go."

"Just as your sister Minghua said, hindering the Ghost Spirit Clan is your contribution to the Celestial Race. Being able to help them without holding grudges has already placed you at the pinnacle of morality, and no one can criticize you."

After that day...

Xi Xianren and his group all became Wang Yu's employees, only sharing some spiritual items. What he wanted were the native creatures and the statues of the dead souls. He didn't care about sharing these core interests; everything else was irrelevant.

With them, Wang Yu could divide his forces into multiple locations.

Accelerate the expansion of Coldblood City, and with an overwhelming momentum, frantically increase the number of banner spirits in the Soul Banner, in addition to the original tens of millions of demon souls.

The number has already exceeded 100 million.

As time passed, the number of banner spirits at the Dao Integration level began to increase, and Wang Yu's occasional intervention accelerated this process.

It started from devouring the first Soul Master who was in the early stage of Dao Integration.

It was only two years in total.

The number of banner spirits at the Dao Integration level surged to six, attracting a large amount of Burial Dao Laws and the power of living beings themselves, allowing the Venerable Soul Banner to advance once again.

Without any unexpected events, everything went smoothly and naturally. After being upgraded to a superior-grade Earthly Profound Spirit Treasure, the Four Ancient Fiends were able to fully manifest.

The six Dao-merging Yin Souls were devoured and pieced together to form the even more powerful Four Fiend Banner Spirits. Although their essence was the Four Fiend Beast Patterns, they also possessed some of the supernatural power of their original forms, making them incredibly versatile.

While Wang Yu was cultivating his main body, he also supervised Xiao Chan'er's cultivation and began his true grand undertaking.

—Fishing for the Heavenly Demon!!!
